    I'm all for more representation...if it is done in an organic way.

    If it's done in a forced way, the writer/director/producer is actually hurting the cause of advancing the group they are trying to promote.

    It really bothers me when this is done about environmental issues, because I actually care about the environment. Like so many other issues. Futurama sums it up nicely.

    I'm having issues with image, here is the direct link.

    I'm not sure if Will Smith's issues directly tie to wokeness. Will Smith was in an abusive relationship so long that he snapped. Men don't have a lot of recourse if they are in an abusive relationship. Their only option is to leave, and doing would cost Will a lot of money and prestige but guess what, he lost money and prestige by staying with Jada since producers are quietly cancelling or postponing his upcoming projects.

    Here is another thing tangentially related to the topic of wokenesss, but funny nonetheless.

    Sadly I can only cancel my Disney + subscription once. I cancelled my Disney+ subscription many months ago. I don't remember which line they crossed that convinced me to unsubscribe. They crossed so many un-crossable lines, they did enough awful things to make me unsubscribe four or five times at least.

    Most of the time, I cannot boycott a product I don't use. For instance I don't buy Coca Cola anymore, but before they became Woke-a Cola, I probably drank 6-10. I doubt the Coca Cola executive have noticed my boycott. When you consider the cost of a bottle of soda, a lot of it goes to manufacturer of the bottle, the companies that make the ingredients, the shipping of the soda (probably the biggest cost), and a cut goes to the grocery store or vending machine company. So I'm guessing Coca Cola gets about a dime every time someone drinks a soda, if even that. Take that you evil corporation, I took a dollar from you!

    Most companies I cannot even do that.

    We must have the same Youtube algorithm. I saw it recently.

    I got about 3/4 through and quit because she was repeating herself.

    Cliff note's version. There is a tendency that movies and TV decide to make female protagonists/"heroes" act masculine. Feminine female characters are derided. And in real life women are encouraged by feminists and wokesters to act masculine and shun the feminine. She argues that this is misogynic.

    And she shows clips from over and over. And points out the irony that this song was a about a misogynic man saying things decades ago that are now said by feminists.

    Plus a gazillion tangents on Lord of the Rings, her grandmother wanting her to settle down and get married, her blanket statement about a group then saying ("hashtag not all" there are some good _____), tangents on male feminists, tangents on semantics, tangents on religion, and a few other tangents I missed. Then after the tangent she will repeat her main point and show another clip from "My Fair Lady."

    She made a good point, but bad presentation.

    This is the main flaw with feminist/female supremacist movements today - instead of redeeming femininity, defending femininity as being just as important as masculinity and encouraging women to be feminine, which they should be, they do the opposite and say what male misogynists have been claiming since the dawn of time - that masculinity is supposedly superior to femininity - just in the reverse way (through encouraging women to take a more masculine role).

    Also, in my opinion, Critical Race Theory encourages racism and division.

    I could probably go into all sorts of wokeisms going against their ultimate goal.

    I want to fight global warming, but we cannot do it with solar panels if solar panels are manufactured with lithium mined by CCP shell companies that poison the land and air while destroying the sea and enslaving minorities.

    Oh yes, it's clear that a lot of Left-Wing race-based groups and movements are racist toward white people. Very much like feminism is female supremacism, Black Lives Matter is a black supremacist movement - if it really cared about equality as a whole, it would be called All Lives Matter and cater to all races being given equal treatment and respect, which would be great because that is true egalitarianism, but it's not. It doesn't care about Native Americans, a group that has been persecuted far more than the black race ever was, or South or East Asians, arguably not even Aborigine Australians who are also technically black given they have the same skin tones. Thus it definitely doesn't care when behaviours that are racist toward whites crop up.

    There are government and institutional measures already implemented that are definitely racist toward white people, in their own countries, yet nobody shows any objection, because the Left would immediately deride them as 'racist' and encourage the mainstream population to ostracise the person in question, all because it is contrary to the agenda these organisations preach. Thus does the Left suppress freedom of speech, which in itself is contrary to the 'liberal' attitudes it wants people to think it advocates. One classic that I recall reading about not that long ago is that one primary school here in Britain was marked down by OFSTED for having 'too many white children' - clearly a racist term that would prompt huge outcry if it had been targeted toward a school with a majority black attendance, but nobody bats an eyelid because it doesn't fit the agendas of the Left. Businesses now have to employ a minimum number of people of colour that they need to satisfy or else presumably be taken to court, yet there's no such minimum for whites - under these regulations you can have a company that is entirely staffed by non-whites, but not a company entirely staffed by whites. You've probably seen how modern television dramas always seem to have to include at least one black character, even in historical scenarios where such a thing would have been extremely rare and unlikely, yet I couldn't see that minimum requirement being applied to whites.

    And the thing is, some white people do take a great level of offence at this 'special treatment', and they're the ones who often end up joining White Supremacist rallies and other extremist groups on the other side of the political spectrum, which then commit hate crimes that upset these Left-Wing groups, but instead of defending 'minority' races as being equal, they want more than that, and strike back by committing hate crimes of their own and/or demanding more of this 'special treatment'. Not to mention that they will not be satisfied until, in their eyes, they have achieved 'vengeance' for things that were committed in the past, largely incidents that occurred hundreds of years ago involving individuals with different attitudes to the more tolerant views of today. All of this petty behaviour, as you say, thus causes ever-greater levels of division between race populations, which is only making the problem worse.

    CRT explicitly encourages racism against white people, but it implicitly encourages racism against non-white people essentially stating "You have no agency, whatever you do, institutional white privilege will keep you oppressed so your only option is to surrender to our socialist government system."

    Like Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. "The bourgeois are oppressing and only we can save you."

    Feminists say "the patriarchy is oppressing you and only we can save you."

    The CCPs says "Western imperialism is oppressing you and only we can save you."

    It's the play book of 20th and 21st oppressive institutions. "You are constantly a victim, you have no agency, and only we can save you from the vaguely defined boogeyman we manufactured."
